You're the only person i've xeen that ai'nt pissed off about it.

 

[APC99]

Wait, wait, wait, I didn't know the leaker was here! That's pretty amazing, actually. What a coincidence

I'm not a leaker, I'm a ****poster. Huge difference. The closest thing I've ever had to inside sources is talking to a Nintendo rep at
Toys R Us about the Smash Ballot like a year ago.

I'm surprised I got as far as I did, considering I piggybacked off of all the NeoGAF hooplah and added some safe-yet-surprising guesses. My hubris and lack of indie knowledge did me in. I'll tell this story to my grandkids for sure, about the time I messed up and game developers made fun of me.

 

[mario123007]

Some people already think smash and Animal crossing is a given so its bound to happen

If I have to pick, I think Animal Crossing is more likely.

Oh cause he's boring, he fakes his excitement for views, he fakes liking Fire Emblem and he's loud for no reason.

I'm actually disappointed you had to mention anything about race or skin colour...

Even if they are fake, he sure did a good joke. I feel a bit odd you think he's boring just because he "fakes" excitement for views, he does exaggerate the hype a lot, but I don't think he will fake on things he didn't like. Like how he was hype for Xenoblade X, after that he isn't a huge fan of it and I understand that. Some also argues his One Punch Man reaction video was just faking, he did later explain why he didn't like OPM in a stream. The only big and nasty stunt I can remember was him fooling us with the fake Switch.

I extremely doubt he fakes liking when it comes to Fire Emblem... again I think it's more logical to say he often "exaggerates". I respect your statement on that but sorry I have to disagree, not just because I'm a fan of Etika, but it's because you don't have solid proof
Loud for no reason though, yeah, I have no complaint, but you know you can...turn down your PC/laptop/smartphone/tablet's volume right?

Not saying that he's perfect, but faking excitement for views isn't nasty if you did it right, I mean... Boogie does his Francis videos for views. Also Obe1...

I also apologize if you feel like I am bashing you or trying to change your opinion, I just can't understand your reason... I also apologize on mentioning that... it was just in case...

I always advocate to hope for the best and expect the worst. But people expect the world. Hell hath no fury like the rage of a thousand entitled fanboys.

Me too, unless it's Nintendo... just saying...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Whaaaat? Why would anyone be pissed at that? Thats the best thing ever and very south parky for sure. Are they so pissed, that the joke went over their heads?

 

[Opossum]

You're the only person i've xeen that ai'nt pissed off about it.

Most people I saw took it well, minus the folks who get easily triggered by South Park in general.


It's honestly pretty great social satire.

 

[Coricus]

I may be letting the Direct hype train get to me a bit, LOL.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

But without concrete expectations it results in this.

But hey, I'll give you one thing. Minus me swapping out Jagen for Camus, we have the same Fire Emblem Warriors predictions.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

One thing I will say. It is very very odd that there has been a pattern of games getting preleaked through the YouTube descriptions. Pokken DX, Splatoon 2, and now the possibility of Smash?

It definitely could happen, but don't get your hopes up. It's happened before, it doesn't mean it'll happen this time.

People that get offended at South Park need to lighten up a little. Its no fun being easily offended

 

[Aetheri]

I don't expect to see Smash during the Direct...I feel like we're going to get more focus on what's coming for the holidays with perhaps some more details on 2018 titles (Yoshi, Kirby, Fire Emblem?)...

I wouldn't expect an F-Zero game just yet...an announcement next year or the year after maybe, but definitely not now...

Animal Crossing, pretty much the same, but the mobile game is a possibility (we did get the announcement for Super Mario Run around the same time last year), it's been a while since we've gotten information on it...

I'd stifle my expectations but, perhaps some big third party reveals are imminent as well...(I know everyone's going bat **** because Kamiya rt'd the Direct announcement), but Bayonetta1/2 ports are definitely not out of the question at the very least...

so far the top of my wishlist is a XC2 release date (preferably for November to early December at the latest)...money's getting tight for me again so my next game purchase may not be for a while and XC2 is currently top of my priority list (since I already fully paid for MSR)...

We'll see what the direct has in store for tomorrow...

Wait, I don't recall it happening with Pokkén or Splatoon. Can you explain?

Speaking of which, honest question, APC99 : Did my FE Warriors video last month influence the characters you put in your fake leak?

 

[Z25]

It be cool if Smash was announced and the trailer opened up the same as the original Smash 4 trailer, but when Villager takes out the letter, a RV speeds by and all of a sudden the town gets covered in Ink as a turf war breaks out, and it actually becomes an Inkling introduction.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Ya know...

I think I'll do Bingo for once.

Speaking of which, honest question, APC99 : Did my FE Warriors video last month influence the characters you put in your fake leak?

Sadly, no. I originally only wanted to put down three characters, two of which being Caeda and Tiki, the former due to her ties to Marth and the latter because of her amiibo. The rest of the Shadow Dragon characters were from skimming Reddit and seeing some of the popular characters, plus Jagen (because he's apparently an important character). I also kind of rushed the FE part (I don't really follow it much, still waiting for a chance to play Awakening / Fates) so I missed out on characters like Tharja and Azura.

...It's weird typing out the thought process of a fake leak, especially one I made up late at night on a caffeine rush that I barely remember.

 

[powerprotoman]

okay so a few things

1 my smash predictions are far too numerous to put down as i have such a broad list
that ill be happy with anything getting added (seriously the dq1 dragon lord, knuckles, dante, bomberman and simon belmont and that not even counting 1st party characters like takamaru, wonder red, minmin, hector ,the squid sisters, or the veterans who i believe should all come back the list is infact too numerous)

2 the reason azura isnt getting added into warriors is probobly the same reason tharja isnt getting in the point in time where the characters get taken to oc world, in fates case its when corrin makes their choice which azura isnt there untill after you do so

3 an aside to the recent source gaming coverage but i really cant get behind indie pogo simply because of the pogo, the reason rivals of aether works as a plaotform fighter is because your in compelte controll of you character and the only major change done was making your sheild a dedicated dodge/parry

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I just found out Whole Foods has a mochi bar

I dunno if it's the one here but I've got to try it

Pistacchio Mochi!

 

[FalKoopa]

I did it.

 

[Ivander]

Hunger Games Bingo? Whichever one wins will be confirmed?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Lookie lookie, the nintendo online app got an update

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Wait, I don't recall it happening with Pokkén or Splatoon. Can you explain?

Yeah. It's basically the same story as this one. In the January Switch Presentation the conference was tagged with "Splatoon", same thing with the Pokemon Direct it was tagged with "Pokken". Interestingly enough, all three of these instances were tagged with earlier versions of their respective games Pokken for Pokken DX, Splatoon for Splatoon 2, and now Smash Bros Wii U for what could possibly be Smash Bros Switch.

I can't seem to find any concrete source on this. Maybe because when I searching Pokken DX or Pokken DX leak it leads me to early gaf pages or post announcement news article.

Worth noting that @PushDustIn did a very good investigation to make sure this wasn't a YouTube error. How findings says that it was put there intentionally by whatever put up the video. It's on Twitter if you want to check it out.

 

[Blargg888]

I set my schedule to 6PM = dinner in college, but I might have to hold off dinner until 7PM tomorrow so that I can catch the direct.

I can't wait, personally. I've been waiting for game news for a while now. I'm not really expecting anything specific, but I hope it's good.

 

[Aurane]

If there is a Smash reveal, I will buy premium...

...just to get the **** out of here and back to the Disco because holy **** you guys have no chill in speculation season.

And maybe occasionally troll the incoming raging infants who breath fire.

 

[Mythra]

You know what time it is

Spoiler: BINGO

Some fun facts:
-A kinky NieR Automata slot got scrapped
-Im not sorry about the Tiki one
-Yes, Im betting against Smash
-The L.A. Noire slot is from an unlreleased episode fittingly called "Squid Noir", it will premiere in Nov. 7

Honestly I may not have time to make a bingo sheet.

Unless you want it as just text, but I don't think anyone wants it.

 

[Blargg888]

Hunger Games Bingo? Whichever one wins will be confirmed?

Hunger Games Bingo:

Smash 4 Deluxe poisons Smash 5 Switch in its sleep.

Breath of the Wild DLC Pass 3 dies of hypothermia.

Kirby 2018 breaks its leg running from the Cornucopia.

Kid Icarus Uprising 2 falls into a frozen lake.

Fire Emblem Warriors Shadow Dragon Character Reveals, USUM, and Super Mario Odyssey tell ghost stories all night.

Metroid Prime 4 and Samus Returns ambush and kill Pikmin 4

Nindies and Xenoblade 2 attempt to kill Animal Crossing Switch, but Animal Crossing Switch kills Nindies while Xenoblade 2 escapes

Pokemon Switch cuddles with Pokken Deluxe

Star Fox asks F-Zero to kill him, but F-Zero refuses, keeping him alive.

9.9/10

I took off a point for not having Lola Pop be Patrick's inflatable pants.

 

[Mythra]

In the extremely unlikely case Smash gets confirmed, this will occupy the free space slot.

 

[Ura]

Not going to watch the Direct live. I always watch those things after they happen so I can watch the things I care about only.

Le Bingo


Center space is free space just so you know.

ARMS X IT Crossover?

Le censor dodging bingo apparently.

 

[Ura]

Oh sorry lol let me re-upload it.

There we go. The PG version of Uncle Ura's bingo card. Fun for the whole family.

 

[powerprotoman]

was just about to psot this and talk about how its just the female cast checking out lolas ***,
with minmin being super unimpressed it seems

seriously tho all of their eyes are Directly looking at lolas ass(with one possible exception)

now that exception is of course minmin who could be said as looking tword the 4th wall,
this leads me to ask who are lola and minmin looking at?

like minmin looked either unimpressed or annoyed and if we take this as them both looking at someone who could it be that would get minmin annoyed. like say what you will but it seems that all the arms characters live in a shared dorm
(the implications of this are worrying as it could imply that the arms association has them all there for a reason other than the kindness of their hearts) and that to me seems like the perfect set up for an anime
the reason i bring this up is the possbility its either springman,ninjara, or kid cobra in the room with lola OR minmins boyfriend
which would make for an easy anime scenario


this has been overthinking art with proto thank you and good night

 

[mario123007]

ARMS X IT Crossover?

How so? Well, compare to IT, in this pic the role is reversed lol.

These are what I called people doing IT reference with Lola Pop:

and this:

Lola Pop... Spring man...is a man...
Also check out this thegreyman, his Nintendo related comic are super hilarious.

Not going to watch the Direct live. I always watch those things after they happen so I can watch the things I care about only.

Well, downside is you might get spoiled already before watching them... it's always exciting to get surprised when watching the Direct live.

It still feels...I dunno. I've seen my own videos get tagged with random-ish games before, so I'm hesitant on this one.

So is Push. I'm in consistent contact with him and the rest of the Source Gaming staff.

 

[Deleted member]

Thing is, we have quite a few grapplers already in Bowser, DK, Luigi, Diddy, arguably Mario, the list goes on. Combined with the fact that we also have a lot of physical-based fire users so far, I think it's more likely the Smash team would look toward other prominent mons who do stuff we haven't seen yet on the roster.

You have no idea what a "Grappler" is, do you?

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

If there's a Smash Bros game announced in the direct, I'll be ecstatic for sure, but I won't be too disappointed if we don't see any announcement for Smash in some way or another. So it's at 8 AM AEST, might be able to spare a bit of time to watch it in full, but I won't post my thoughts on it until I've finished my day at Uni...

Nice to see the thread fired up in speculation mode again, and if there is a new Smash Bros, I imagine it'll be going into Overdrive.
